Abstract
The Stark laws govern the rules under which physicians may make referrals to a designated health service paid for by Medicare; if the physician has a direct or indirect financial relationship with a service, then that physician is prohibited from making a referral to that entity. There are exceptions. Before contracting with hospitals for their services, physicians need to be aware of the legal ramifications.
